Symbiote

Along your travels, you stumble upon a dark, amorphous polyp. You can sense that it is very old, and very evil.

Approach...

It suddenly jumps onto you. You feel a searing pain as it latches onto your arm, but in an instant it is gone.

...? Where did it go?

You torch the dark polyp. As it screeches and burns into ashes, your head pulses painfully but you manage not to faint.
What was that thing?

Our pick

EnchantAn Attack with Corrupted

Approach, on a big single-hit finisher you play once per fight; the 2 HP tax is nothing next to half again the damage.

TransformA card

Kill with Fire when the deck has a Strike or another dead card you want gone but cannot remove.

Approach lets you enchant an Attack with Corrupted: it deals 50% more damage, and you lose 2 HP every time you play it.
The option is locked when no Attack can take an enchantment.
Kill with Fire opens a card select and transforms one card of your choice into a random card of any rarity.
